Sensivalidate

Sensivalidate is a Python package designed to help identify sensitive data in text, including credit card numbers, UK bank account numbers, UK sort codes, and UK postcodes. It uses regular expressions for pattern matching, and performs real validation for credit card numbers using the creditcard Python package.

Features

• Credit Card Validation: Validates credit card numbers by checking for valid formats and using the creditcard package to verify the card's authenticity.

• UK Bank Account Number Detection: Identifies UK bank account numbers (8-digit numbers).

• UK Sort Code Detection: Detects UK sort codes in formats like xx-xx-xx, xxxxxxxx, and xx xx xx.

• UK Postcode Detection: Matches UK postcodes based on standard patterns.

Note: The package performs pattern matching for bank account numbers, sort codes, and postcodes, but only credit card numbers are validated for authenticity.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install sensivalidate

Or, if you've downloaded the package:

pip install sensivalidate-0.1.tar.gz

Usage

from sensivalidate import is_sensitive_data

result = is_sensitive_data("your text here")

if result:
	print("Sensitive data detected.")
else:
	print("No sensitive data found.")

The is_sensitive_data function checks the provided text for sensitive data and returns True if any of the following are detected:

• Valid credit card number

• UK bank account number

• UK sort code

• UK postcode

Code Overview
